a } AFTERMATH OF CEREAL 
EVERY FARM IS A FAGTORY HIRE 


Like any other factory, a farm requires a properly 
equipped plant. That means well designed buildings. 
The British Columbia Forest Service is publishing a 
series ‘of bulletins on farm buildings, the plans for 
which, the bills of material, and instructions how to 
build, were prepared by the College of Agriculture of 
the University of Saskatchewan. The Forest Service 
has supplied information concerning the best wood to use

' Care of Country Roads 


Deterioration of Roads in the Winter 
Time Can Be Prevented if Proper 
Methods Are Followed 
Water, not cold, is the cause of the 
deterioration of roads in winter, 
Cold weather does not in itself in- 
jure roads, no matter whether they 
are earth, gravel, or macadam, In 
fact, an earth road will stand more 
traffic when it is solidly frozen than 
at any other time. Ixcess water, 
however, is always detrimental to a 
highway. When cold weather turns 
this water into ice, the damage that 
it does is greatly increased. Ice oc- 
cupies considerably more space than 
the water from which it is formed, 
and every person who has lived in a 
cold climate is familiar with the 
powerful bursting effect of water 
when left to freeze in a confined ves- 
sel. The same action takes place 
when a wet road freezes to any con- 
siderable depth. It simply bursts, 
or, as we generally term it in* road 
parlance, the road heaves. Later, 
when the frost leaves, the road is 
disintegrated and ruts badly. If 
this process is repeated a number 
of times during the winter, a gravel 
or macadam road may be practically 
destroyed, while an earth road may 

become entirely impassable. 

A dry road will not heave. Rock, 
gravel, sand, and even clay when 
perfectly dry contract slightly on 
freezing. In order to expand on 
freezing, these materials must con- 
tain or be mixed with water, and the 
more water they contain the greater 


the expansion which takes place. 
But so long as_ the road remains 
frozen the damage does not become 
apparent. Hence the frequent and 
erroneous idea that it is the thaw 
which injures the road. The injury 
was done when the water in the 


road froze and the particles of the 
rod surface—broken, stone, sand, or 
still finer particles of earth or clay 
—were pushed apart by the expand- 
ing power of the freezing water. The 
thaw merely allows the ice to melt 
and assume its original volume as 
water,

THE ‘ADVANCE, CHINOO®, ALTA 


A Diving Projectile 


To Be Used on New French Gun to 
Bury Foe In Trenches 


The great French advance which is 
to clear the German invaders out of 
Belgium and France will be pressed 
home just as soon as the army is sut- 
ficiently equipped with the new gun 
about which there has been so much 
talk of late in military circles. It Is 
understood that nearly the number 
required are now in readiness, and 
when these big guns are brought to 
the front they are expected to make 
short work of the German trenches. 

Special interest in the character of 
these new guns, which bas not yet 
been officially disclosed, was aroused 
by the announcement regarding the 
diving projectile which is said to have 
done so much towards clearing the 
seas of the German submarines, Ac- 


icording to announcements, the new 


“Conan fuse,” as it is called, is the 
miralty today. The outstanding fea- 
tures of this fuse are described as fol- 
lows: Jt was invented three years 
ago by an Irishman named Walter 
Conan, whose home is in Dublin. It 
can be affixed to a shell fired from a 
gun or howitzer or to a bomb dropped 
from an aeroplane. In striking the 
water the projectile, of which the 
Conan apparatus forms part, dives 
and explodes at any pre-determined 
depth up to 30 feet below the surface.

The its explosion 


water is sufficient to sink a submar- | 


ine, usually by making it turn turtle. 

It ig understood that a similar ap- 
paratus has been adapted and attach- 
ed to the projectiles used by the new 
large guns. They will be used against 
the German trenches, and instead of 
the difficult task of turning the sold- 
iers out of these retreats, it is ex- 
pected that the French will dispose of 
the invaders by burying large bodies 
of them in their own trenches.

Winter destruction begins 
early fall. The best way to prevent 
Jsuch destruction is to | forestall it. 
Keep the road dry and remember 
that so long as it remains so it will 
not be seriously injured by frost. 
Keep the drains open, the ditchas 
clear, remove all vegetation and lit- 
ter, and use the drag frequently. If 
the road is kept dry to a depth of 
two feet below the surface there will 
be little trouble from the coldest 
winter.

“Russia is now suffering only for 
want of rifles, and when she is prop- 
erly supplied at least 2,000,000 addi- 
tional soldiers will be thrown into the 
fleld with results which only next 
Bpring’s campaign can tell.” his is 
the opinion of a prominent American 
mining engineer who has just return- 
ed to London after spending six 
months in the Russian empire, mainly 
in Siberia, where he is the chief en- 


gineer of an important group of 
mines. Deseribing conditions in 
Russia he said: 

“The impression which has pre- 


vailed outside Russia during the 
great German drive through Poland 
was never really duplicated in that 
country and the only thing that 
could cause revolution now. would 
be the conclusion of an unfavorable 
peace with the central powers. 
“The Russian peasant is not an 
imaginative individual and the 
losses suffered in the war have not 
greatly impressed him. Jsyen the 
generally admitted shortage of rifles, 
the wastage of which has been un- 
precedented, is not causing the Rus- 
sians much concern as the staff has 
realized the rifle used by infantry is 
not an effective weapon. The Rus- 
sian army is now well supplied with 
heavy guns and munitions and their 
invantry is being supplied with 
thousands of machine guns. 


“Foy the greater part of the war, 


we have used Austrian prisoners as 


miners in our mines, but lately we 
have been receiving Germans from 


the government prisoners’ labor 
bureau. These Germans in the 
main are absolutely unfit for hard 
labor, most of them being old men 
with grey beards, while others are 
of the student class, many of them 
wearing glasses with thick lenses. 

A. staff officer, closely connected 
with the prisoners’ bureau, told me 
that for some time on the Dvinsk 
front the Russians have been cap- 
turing from 100 to 200 women 
weekly. ‘These were all in German 
uniforms and were~- apparently ser- 
ving as soldiers. 

“In Petragrac I entered the re- 
cently opened museum of atrocities. 
I was allowed to bring to England 
an Austrian rifle cartridge loaded 
with an explosive bullet that is ready 
,a miniature shrapnel shell that ex- 
| plodes when a little plunger at the 
;top is driven in by contact with a 
|human target. 

“In the Scandinavian countries 
/nothing was talked about except the 
‘food shortage in Germany and some 
confirmation of this was given to me 
'by a Dane who represents in Berlia 
‘one of the biggest American packing 
,companies. This Dane declared that 
|the fat allowance had been reduced 
‘from eleven to seven ounces. a per- 
json -daily, and he stated that the 
;}German working people would have 
a difficult time getting through the 
winter on this reduced allowance. 
|The Dane also told that england was

e Man Who Frequently Gets Drunk 
is of Unsound Mind and as Such 
Should be Treated 

The Literary Digest, September 16, 
1915, has an article under the above 
caption, the first sentence of which 
reads, “The impulse to drunkenness 
is disease.” After pointing out that 
men drink for various reasons, it says 
that those who, “Drink to get drunk 
are abnormal; they are diseased.” 
This fact has be2n brought out dis- 
tinctly in the psychopathic laboratory 
of the Chicago Municipal Court. Judge 
Olson of the court says, “We have yet 
to find the first case of the kind 
where there is not a tendency to ep)- 
{lepsy, dementia praecox, manic de- 
| pressive insanity, or feeble minded- 
ness.” <All this means that the man 
‘who frequently gets drunk, is of un- 
pone mind and should be so treated. 
In 


stitution to which the habitual drunk- 
ard may be sent by the judge on ap- 
plication by the friends until he is 
| considered cured. J] knew a clever 
young man who went to an asylum 
|and begged the superintendent to 
take him in for a year till he would 
have a chance to break off. There are 
many such pitiful cases for which 
there is no provision made notwith- 
standing the revenue from the traffic 
that causes it. 

There is a serious reflection on our 
civilization that there is no provision 
made for this class. most of them the 
victims of the license system. We 
see such ‘men going down for years 
wasting their substance in the saloon, 
beggaring their families and becom- 
ing a nuisance and often a menace to 
society and nothing can be done to 
help them. They sometimes try des- 
perately to break off but what hope in 
the presence of the open barroom ana 
the treating custom? The physician 
is not allowed to send them to any in- 
stitution unless he is very rich. There 
is neither hope nor help for him tili 
be becomes insane or commits a 
crime. But what caused this diseased 
condition? “The curse causeless shall 
not come.” Statistics generaliy 
point to a drinking father or grand- 
father. Ile was probably ignorant of 
‘the fact that his drinking would injure 


his children and grandchildren. 
Then fer God's sake help us to 


snread this truth far and wide that

ited on the children and grandchild:

Some of the Benefits of the Prohibi- 
tion Law 

The state of Kansas has been for al- 

most a generation under a prohibition 

law. The law has frequently come in 

for criticism, and its administration 

has been subjected to more criticism 


still. A signed statement as to pro- 
hibition and its results recently {s- 


sued by Governor Arthur Capper is, 
therefore, of more than ordinary in- 
; terest and importance. In Mr. Capper's 
; opinion the prolibitory law is. the 
‘greatest’ blessing ever bestowed on 
{the state and the greatest instrument 
\in its prosperity. The law has never 
been so well enforced as now, ana 
; bas never been so generally approy- 
ied by the people of the state. Ap- 
| proval indeed, he says, is too mild a 
word with which to express the atti- 
tude, of the people toward the law. 
Most of them are enthusiastically in 
favor of it. This enthusiastic approv- 
al has good foundation. Kansas is 
the wealthiest state of the Union per 
capita. On the basis of weaith as- 
' sessed for taxation the average wealth 
{per capita in Kansas is $1,629.61. The 
| second state is Massachusetts with a 
per capita wealth of $1,355.47, or near- 
ly twenty per cent. less. Kansas has 
a much larger relative number of 
young men and wonien in college than 
any other state according to the cen- 
sus of 1910. The percentage of illit- 
feracy in Kansas is lower than in any 
| other state in the Union except one. 
‘Thirty-two counties in Kansas have 
‘abandoned their poor farms. Forty- 
jeight counties out of one hundred and 
‘five did not send a prisoner to.the 
[penitentiary last year. The per cap- 
'ita consumption ol liquor in the 
United States is twenty-one dollars 
‘yearly. In Kansas it is three dollars 
,and four cents. Kansas, says governor, 
i thus saves thirty-million dollars every 
‘year directly. The indirect gain is 
/not subject to computation, but it is 
; certainly greater still, During the 
‘last session the Kansas legislature by 
‘unanimous vote in both houses went 
!on record in a series of strong resolu- 
\tions telling what prohibition has 
(done for Kansas and emphatically en- 
idorsing it. No wonder the people of 
‘Kansas have a patriotic love for their 
state, almost religious—not to say 
fanatic--in its intensity. The experi- 
tence of Kansas is typical of that of 
; other prohibition communities, It 
‘should be valuable as an object lesson 
| to those that are still seeking for de- 
liverance from the liquor — traffic.

merry name for the shelters pre-ar- |

rets worse and worse. The hideous 
row comes nearer and nearer. Now it 
is quite close. Then a fearful bang and 
roar. The house and even the massive 
cellar arches tremble. Bang! This 
time still wilder and nearer. Through 
the crannies of the cellar there drifts 
in from the street something misty. At 
first one can’t tell whether it is smoke 
or dust, but as we breathe it we find 
it has a horrible but smoky taste. 


“Bang and bang!

subterranean wigwam? But gradual- 
ly the din becomes less. Quickly up 
and out in the hope of. still seeing 
something. Yes, there they are over 
the railway station, which is some dis- 
stance off.” 

The doctor proceeds to describe in 
the "“Vossiche Zeitung” some of the 
damage done. The houses on 
sides of his hotel had been struck by 
hombs. In-one the whole interior was 
wrecked, and it was from here, he 
gays, that this strange mist came 
which penetrated into his “heroes’ cel- 
lar.” Five of the occupants had been 
kiiled on the spot. The market pre- 
sented a horrible spectacle, a number 
of horses whieh there had been no 


time to remove having been blown to! 


The railway station, he de- 


pieces,

All Freight Cars in Canada Working 

Box cars valued at $65,000,000 are 
being used by railways of Canada in 
handling the present harvest accord- 
ing to an estimate of Sir IT. L. Dray- 
ton, chairman of the 
way commissioners, writing to the 
cecretary of the Saskatoon board of 
trade. After speaking of a reported 
shortage of cars in the Goose Lake 
district, the chairman of the. board 
states: “This matter has been en- 
gaging the very serious attention of 
the operating department for some 
time. 

“No less than 65,000 box cars were 
ready this year, especially to look 
after the grain movement. At an av- 
erage price of $1,000 a car, this sur- 


plus represents an investment of 
$65,000,000. So far as I have been 
able to learn from our operating 
officers, this supply of cars has been 


kept steadily in conimission, work- 
ing to the full the locomotive capac- 
ity available.”

(half we have a total decrease in cat- 
tle shipments for the year at the 
above market of 835,176 head, or 
roughly speaking 00,000,000 pounds 
‘of beef. ‘his has been estimated to 
equal nine beef cattle per hundred 
people. This shortage on the above 
markets hag been in spite of the 
great number of Canadian cattle go- 
ing to the United States during the 
past year, owing to the abolition of 
the U.S. tariff. During the winter 
fof 1912-13 only 24,090 Canadian cat- 
i tle were shipped south, while during 
ithe following winter 178,75. were 
shipped. 

The question may be asked, grant- 
jing these figures to be correct, why 
the price of beef is not higher. 
this regard the report states that 
the retail price of all meats in Can- 
ada today is approximately the same 
as in Great Britain, but whilst the 
producer in Great Britain receives 
from thirteen to fourteen cents per 
pound for his choice beef on the 
hoof, the Canadian producer seldom 
exceeds. seven cents for the same 
| Class of stock. 

It is no doubt true that labor is 
higher in Canac , that cattle are not 
as well finished, and on an average 
do not dress out as high a percent- 


iage, that operating expenses are 
greater all around; but when one 


takes into consideration the fact that 
the figures quoted are for the choice 
article in both cases, there seems to 
be too great a disparity in Canadian 
‘prices. The average price of choice 
beef per pound, live weight, during 


1914, were: Montreal, 6.62 cents; 
Winnipeg, 7.07 cents: and Calgary, 
6.94 cents. The retailers’ prices at 


the same time and in the same cities 
were: Moutreal, sirloin steak, 22.6 
cents; medium chuck, 16 cents; Win- 
jnipeg, 26.8 and 18.8 cents;, and Cal- 
}gary 22.8 and 15 cents. 

This shortage of beef cattle, and 
in fact of all classes, cannot be re- 
medied in any short period of time. 
The farmer who has good breeding

Dennis O'Toole, a bright Dublin lad, 
was sent to the baker's for a two- 
penny loaf. Having received it. it 
struck him that it was under weight, 
so he drew the baker's attention to 
it. 

“Never mind that,” said the bak- 
er; “it will be less for you to carry.” 

“Very well,” replied the boy, and 
‘throwing three halfpence on the coin- 
ter he walked away. The shopman 
called after him and told him he haa 
not left enough money. 

“Oh, niver mind that,” retorted 
Dennis. “It will be the less for ye 
to count.” 


An officer with the Royal Flying 
Corps in France, writing to a friend, 
says: 

An amusing incident occurred when 
some of our machines brought down a 
Bosch machine. As soon as it touched 
ground the pilot (Saxon) and the ob- 
server (Prussian) unstrapped_ them- 
selves, sprang out, and fought like two 
dogs until our gunners (the machige 
descended just behind our lines) sep- 
arated them. ‘The Prussian accused 
the Saxon of rot attempting to get 
beck over our lines.

We knew we could not go out to him, 
but at last one of our officers who 
could speak German shouted and ask-. 
ed the enemy if we might carry him 
in. This was a brave act, for if we 
only put our heads over the parapet 
we were liable to be killed. The Ger- 
mans shouted back and gave us five 
minutes in which to fetch him. Im- 
| mediately fifteen of us jumped over to

Shortage of Labor in Great Britain 

Newspapers are overflowing with ac- | 
counts of labor shortage, following on, 
the success of Lord Derby's recruiting | 
campaign. It is conceivable that) 
Great Britain has from the standpoint 
of efficiency sent neariy ail the troops 
it can spare. 

A point is rapidly approaching 
where skilled workmen can serve 
their country more effectively at home 
than at the front. Clothing, ammuni- 
tion and all war materials are needed 
at the front. Machinery is more ef- 
fective there than men. 

From military and = naval stand- 
points factories must be kept running. 
For financial comfort the country 
must continue manufacturing if it is 
to maintain its exports and stabilize 
foreign exchanges., The latter is as} 
necessary to the successful conclu- | 
sion of the war as the former. |

War and Medical Practice 


Movement for the Nationalization of 
the Practice of Medicine 


“Nationalization of the practice of 
medicine’ is the somewhat original 
description by British labor Dele- 
gates in San Francisco, of one of the 
changes effected by war's necessities. 
That the medical profession should 
depend for financial success on the 
prevalence of ill-health has always 
seemed a defective arrangement or ad- 
justment. The need of bread and the 
desire of bakers for profits insure a 
supply, but from this it is unreason- 
able to conclude that the people 
should depend for medical service on 
the prevalence of disease and the de- 
sire of physicians and surgeons for 
incomes. 

Chinese are said to pay their physi- 
cians while in good health and to 
cease payment when ill. An equally 
reasonable idea underlies the appoint- 
ment of a medical officer of health. 
He depends for recognition and dis- 
tinction on the good health of the 
community he serves. He provides 
certain lines of medical advice and 


service to the general public. Medi- 
eal service in the schools is a de- 


velopment in the same direction. 
Smallpox is removed from private 
medical praciicy and treated under 
public supervision, and there is a 
tendency toward a similar transfer of 
other contagious. diseases. 


The idea that public health is too 
important to be left to individual in- 
itiative is causing a change toward 
the nationalization of the practice of 
medicine. It is strengthened by th» 
pressing necessities of war. As in all 
similar changes, the possibility . of 
wiser, more general, and more system- 
atie direction is obtained at the cost 
of the stimulus of personal ambitions 
and rivalries and of exposure to the 
danger of official dominance.—Toron- 
to Globe. 


The manager was showing some vis- 
itors round the factory when the din- 
ner bell rang, and the men stopped 
work and disappeared as if by magic. 
“Do all of them,” said one of the 
guests, smiling, “drop their tools the 
instant the bell goes?” 

“Oh, no, not all of them.” said the 
manager. “Thc more orderly

Indeed, they adopted guerrilla meth-

upon the exercise of superior ingenu-

a superiority of force. Their ulterior 
object is more disputable. It may 
be their aim to prepare the way for 
the adoption of the ideal policy. A

In this war British democracy is on 
trial. It may prove’ that it is true 
that ‘a democracy is incapable of em-

that saying. If it is to do so, it must 
remember that no war can be brought 
to a successful conclusion unless

Modern Artillery 


It Is Claimed That the Use of Steel in 
Manufacture of Guns First Tried 
by Frenchmen 


The Paris Matin gives the story of 
tho discovery, which Alfred Krupp 
has always been eredited with, that 
steel could Le uiod instead of bronze 
in the manufacture of guns. It ap-} 
pears, according to the French paper, | 
that i. 1830 a Frenchman of the name | 
of Pierre Ducroquct, the con of a sold- 
ier who had fougit in the Napoleonic | 
wars, Was consi‘e1ing the possibility 
of improving modern armaments and 
when visiting Paris in 1836 he met Al- 
fred Krupp in a cafe in the vicinity 
of the Palais Royal. Krupp at that! 
time, was a manufacturer of no very 
great importance, employing about 60 
workmen, and was travelling in order 
to gain more customers. Ducroquet 
explained his ideas to him and started | 


a long correspondence with Krupp. In 
he wrote “if the bronze guns 
have not sufficient resisting powers | 


solid material,” and in 1845, “I can 
find nobody here to believe in me. If 
l' only had the use of a factory to 
make my experiments. I would give 
all 1 possess to arrive at some result.” 

Krupp, who was then employing 200 
workmen, replied to Ducroquet offer- 
ing him, providing he paid his own ex- 
penses, the use of a portion of his fac-} 
tory and, moreover, the help of some , 
of his workpeople. The Frenchman ! 
accepted and removed his family to 
Altenessen. A year later, having 


jspent all his money on his experi- 


' 


ments, Ducroquct announced to Alfred 
Krupp the fact that he had at last 
evolved the steel gun. Krupp, inform- 
ed day by day by his workmen of the 
progress made by the inventor, al- 
ready realized the importance of the; 
discovery. He claimed from Ducroquet ; 
the payment of a sum of 5,000 marks | 
which he owed him and in default | 
seized upon his invention. Ducroquet | 
brought an action against him, but | 
lost his case. He offered his invention | 
to the French minister of war, but it! 
was refused. In 1847 Krupp made the 
same offer to Loth the German and 
French ‘governments and received an | 
order for 300 field pieces. Tie reputa- | 
tion of the firm was made. 


Germany and the expenses of embassy 
reach the various officials through 
regular channels, which are in no way 
connected with the fund referred to. 
It is belicevd that the entire cost of 
propaganda work conducted by Aus- 
trian consuls ind consul-generals is 
financed from this German fund. 


Polar Sea Route 


Wireless Telegraph Opens Route 
From Central Russia to Great 
Sritain 
Wireless telegraphy has openod a 
Polar Sea route from Central Russia 
to Great Britain. Wireless stations 
established by the Russian govern- 
ment in the Arctic keep the vessels 
advised as to the channels free from 
ice. Acting on their information, 


‘two large vessels chartered by a Si- 


berian trading company have just ar- 
rived at Grimsbz with cargoes from 
the Yenesci and Obi districts of Cen- 
tral Siberia, valued at $1,750,000. 

The Obi and Yenesc? are huge 
rivers with a gre.t depth of water, 
taking steamers of any size. But it 
Was not until lately that their naviga- 
tion was put in practice. 

Owing to the us? of the Trans-Si- 
berian Railway by the Russian gov- 
ernment for war supplies, there are 
3.000.000 tons of wheat leld up in 
Siberia, besides enormous quantities 
of other produce. If this can be got 
out, it will improve Russian exchange, 
wuich is now 2a serious problem 
among the allies. 

Next year the company proposes tc 
take about thirty steamers over the 
new White Sea route, laden with Si- 
berian products. Even if the war 
ends befere this time. it is pointed 
out that the Serbian Railway will be 
more or less tied up with back busi- 
ness and the returning of troops., 


A profound impression was created 
in the British House of Commons a 
few days ago by the statement made 
by the financial secretary tc the treas- 
ury. 

Mr. Montagu declared that every 
citizen in the country would have to 
be prepared to place at the disposal 
of the state at least one-half of his 
income, either in taxatic. or in 
loans. ° 

We shall all have to stint ourselves 
he added, in regard to the consump: 
tion of conimodities. The expenditure 
upon luxuries et present is extrava- 
gant.

campaign to secure large ap-

navy. This league fs pointing out the 

defects in our navy end compares the 
ships to those of forelgn powers. 

The British battle cruiser Queen 
Mary is the costliest battleship in the 
world. The United States has not a 
single battle cruiser, the newest class 
of battleship. The Queen Mary car- 
ries 8 13.5-inch guns, besides 16 4-inch 
guns, and can develop. a speed of 
nearly thirty knots an hour, depend- 
ing rather on speed than armor. 
Japan owns four ships: of this type. 
“One of these powerful ships,’ writes 
Henry Reuterdahl, “could in one 
‘swoop crush our-entire Pacific fleet, 
destroy our solitary drydock at Olon- 
gapo, in the Philippines, cross the sea 
and raid every unfortified city on the 
Pacific coast from Sitka to San Diego, 
meanwhile coaling in our own ports, 
and nothing of ours could overtake or 
destroy it.”

The United States has, at the most 
favorable estimate of the American 
Defense society, a baker’s dozen sea- 
planes, most of which are unfit for war 
duty. According to Henry Woodhouse 
of the American Aero club, we need 
altogether, for army and navy, at least 
2,000. 

We also need the newest types of aero- 
planes, capable of very high speed. 
The United States has at present 
eleven biplanes and elght ordered, but 
has not actually got an aeroplane that 
can fly under ‘war conditions, The 
French had about 1,600 at the outbreak 
of the war, the English and Germans 
almost as many, Altogether, includ- 
ing seaplanes, we have less than twen- 
ty, according to the American Defense 
society.

SLIDE AT CANAL WILL 
IMIPROVE THE WATERWAY 


Photo by American Press Association. 


Latest Slide In Panama Canal and Ships Waiting to 


HE great siide in Gaillard cut 
of the Panama canal, which 
has choked that part of the 
great isthmian waterway with 

millions of cubic yards of rock and dirt 


“until the channel is only about twenty- 


five feet in width, while the depth has 
been reduced from forty-five. feet to 
varying depths of from three to fifteen 
feet, was clearly foreseen as long ago 
as October of last year, 


For months before the sudden plunge 
of the great mass into the canal Gen- 
eral Goethals, governor of the canal 
zone, and his associates worked day 
and night keeping the channel clear, 
thelr calculations being such that had 
the slide continued its way slowly the 
engineering staff would have been able 
to free the threatened part of the cut 
as fast as the dirt and rock came into It. 

This statement was made by Briga- 


Pass Through. 


dier General H. F. Hodges, U. S. A. 
who until his promotion to his present 
rank last year was assistant chief en- 
gineer of the canal and who knows 
every foot of the waterway from the | 
Atlantic to the Pacific terminals. Gen-! 
eral Hodges, who has kept in close, 
touch with the situation caused as a 
result of the great slide, talked of the

ice; as demonstrated by the present war. 

In past years the general board of 
the navy has made its report—and, on 
the whole, a consistent report—and the 
secretary of the navy has thereupon, 
with the advice of political leaders in 
the senate and house of representatives, 
decided upon just how little the coun- 
try would accept. It frequently hap- 
pened that these recommendations of 
the secretary, themselves a modification 
of the general board recommendations, 


can be stated that instead of irrepa- 
rably damaging the canal the great 
slide will in the end make the calial a 
safer watercourse, and when It is re- 
moved the danger of a recurrence will 
to a great extent have been eliminated. 

“What has happened,” said General 
Hodges, “was clearly foreseen as far 
back as October of last year—that is, 
we saw that the mass was slowly mov- 
ing into the prism. It was of course 
impossible to foresee that it would be 
so suddenly dislodged and plunge in its 
entirety into the cut, blocking it to 
traffic and causing the great tieup. 

“When it was discovered that the 
rock and earth involved in the slide 
were moving the most powerful of 
dredges were put to work removing the 
rock and other material as fast as it 
came into the threatened part of the 
cut. All went well, and the dredges 
were able to keep the channel com- 
paratively free until in the early part 
of September the mass of sliding ma- 
terlal suddenly began to move so fast 
that the block followed. Unfortunately 
it came with a rush, and the dredges 
were entirely unable to cope with the 
situation. The result is what the world 
has since learned, and the problem 
now is to get it put. You may rest as- 
sured the problem will be successfully 
worked out and the canal, when it is 
again clear, will be a better canal than 
{t ever was before. 

“About 10,000,000 cubic yards of mat- 
ter were involved in the slide. The fact 
that it was in motion was, as I have 
stated, known to the canal engineers 
since October of last year. For months, 
until the sudden rush of September, the 
movement was very slow. That it was 
moving could be detected by the drop- 
The east side of the 
slide {s north of what is known as Gold 
hill and north of Contractors’ hill on 
the west, a part of the western area 
being the site of the old village of Cu- 
lebra, now occupied by a part of the 
Panama canal garrison and known as 
Camp Gaillard. 

“Since Sept. 20 until the present time 
the slide has been in continuous mo- 
tion, the length of the channel ob- 
structed being about 1,300 feet. The 
width at the worst point has been re- 
duced to about twenty-five feet and 
the depth to between three and fifteen 


| feet. The finished width of the channel 


at the point where the trouble is will 
be 300 feet and the depth forty-five 
feet. These figures indicate the size of 
the problem confronting General Goe- 
thals and his men.”

seph Goldberger, a surgeon in the Unit-

until today both army and navy are in 
the appalling state of unpreparedness' 
which has’ so roused the whole coun-’ 
try. 

Today, according to all expert naval 
opinion, the United States needs forty- 
eight dreadnaughts to enable it to ful-; 
fill {ts naval obligations, to protect its! 
commerce and to repel an enemy. Wa 
have but seven’ such ships actually in!

ane navy 1s without battle crulsers 


and scouts. On going into battle it 
would be exactly in the position of a 
man who undertook to fight an oppo- 
nent blindfolded. We accordingly need 
a flotilla of at least six swift battle 
cruisers carrying in their main batteries 
guns of the highest caliber. We also 
need scout cruisers of the lightest and 
swiftest type to discover the enemy's 
whereabouts in time of need. 

The submarine as an engine of war 
has not yet been satisfactorily tested 
out. The success of the German sub- 
marines, which for so long a time filled 
the public mind, was mainly agains’

out saying that an equar 
damage upon the English merchant 
fleet could have been accomplished by 
any speedy warship without half of the 
danger and expense of a submarine had 
Germany been able to get her war fleet 


upon the North sea. Still, {t is not to 
be questioned that an adequate fleet of 
seagoing submarines should be provid- 
ed for the American navy. We have 
no submarine in commission yet of the 
seagoing type, although ten are bulld- 
ing or authorized, 

We have about 30,000 mobile troops 
{n the United States scattered around 
{in a number of army posts. The an- 
nual appropriation for the needs of the 
army is $120,000,000, and the total re- 
cruiting strength is a little short of the 
authorized legal limit of 100,000 men. 
This makes the annual cost of every 
soldier in the United States army a 
little over $1,200. The annual cost of 
every soldier in the Swiss army is 
$16.50.

“ous method of signalling by, means 
(of soot clouds. An apparatus filled | 


with lampblack rests near the hand 
of the airman, and when he presses | 
a lever some of this soot passes down 
a pipe and is discharged into the air 
in a black cloud. The pipe is so de: ; 
licately ar ree! that the clouds may ; 
be small or large. The operator can! 
spell out the Morse telegraphic code 
in the little clouds, and they can be 
read from earth. 

The Germans have

mode of communication. Prof. 
has invented a system of signal mir- | 
rors, lighted by a very strong lamp, | 
iwhich permits the airman to sand his! 
rmessages and also to receive instruc: | 
tions in the day time ag well as at:

‘that the operator may send a long or 
‘short flash, thus utilizing the Morse

The statement of a Turkish Pasha 
that all aliens are te be cleared out of

of the popwation of European Turkey, 
If the Pasha had his way, it would 
give rise to an interesting secial pro-

all Osmalis are equal, Thus 
are no class barriers to prevent an 
Ottoman Turk of humble birth reach-

Alfalfa and the ability to grow al-

of the Holstein-Friesian cattle indus-

The introduction of this breed and the 
ability to grow crops of alfalfa has 
enabled the farmers of that neighbor- 
hood to bring this class of animals up 
to the highest point of production of 


any breed in the United States, in
